What’s in a name? For the state of Rhode Island, years of acrimony over an official designation with connotations of slavery.

But change is brewing in the union’s smallest state, as Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo signed an executive order Monday taking the “first steps” to change the state’s full name: “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.”

The “plantations” portion has come under increased scrutiny following widespread protests after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

The order, Executive Order 20-48, will change the name to just “Rhode Island” in official communications from the governor’s office — including future executive orders, citations and letterhead. It also calls on all state executive agencies to remove “plantations” from their websites.

The order does not change the state’s official name permanently — that will require voters to amend the Rhode Island Constitution, the order states.

The state Legislature has indicated it will move forward with the referendum after the Rhode Island Senate passed a measure last week calling for a statewide vote on the name change.

The bill was introduced by Rhode Island’s sole black senator, Harold Metts.

“Whatever the meaning of the term ‘plantations’ in the context of Rhode Island’s history, it carries a horrific connotation when considering the tragic and racist history of our nation,” Metts said in a statement to the Providence Journal.

Previous attempts to change the state’s name have failed after the issue was put on the ballot. In 2010, almost 78 percent of voters opposed a constitutional amendment removing “Providence Plantations” from the state’s name.

The recent push for a name change may have started when an online petition began circulating following Floyd’s death.

“Some Rhode Islanders pride themselves on living in the ‘smallest state with the longest name.’ But, the history of how we got this name is often forgotten,” the petition reads. It currently has almost 7,500 signatures.

How about something more truthful like, "The Great state of Cucked and Fucked."


The Executive Order
 
might as well rename every state than. fuck it even if slavery/racism shit like is involved in the name or not. it'll only take a few hundred years to get use to the new names. united faggots of nigermica.
 
It's only a matter of time where a state changes it's name because it shares a letter in the word "nigger."
New York announces plans to change name of state to New Liberia.
Ohio not to be out cucked, changes it's name to OhiCracka.

Oregon, with no connection to the slave trade will change it's name to something like, "Lynchemland," for 24 hours to prove they are the most racially improved state in the union.

Some states have weird official names.

"Commonwealth" is used by PA, VA, KT, and I think Massachusetts.

You also have "province" used in New Hampshire.

The word Plantation is similar to Colony or large farm.

The original colonies were even mentioned individually in the peace treaty after the war

His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.

Damn I was about to mention that, you beat me too it. It was highlighted in a YouTube video by a black college professor when he was asked about the confederacy. His point was the southern states had it in their separate constitutions the power to succeed from the union.

Yes, but of course you mention that in public now you get reeeeeeeeeed out of existence.

Slavery was still legal in the US when the South succeeded. The cause of the civil war was not slavery (although that was an underlining issue). But it was Lincoln forcibly keeping the union together on shaky legal grounds.

That's why confederates like Lee and Pike, who were not big on slavery, chose to defend their States.

Slavery was just an example issue. The legal question was the states had joined the union, but the states were also free to leave the union at any time. The Confederacy didn't treat the ratification of the US Constitution and the US as a marriage until death.

Not really. Nationalism or a unified country of the US wasn't a thing. People were still used to the idea of separate territories operating in conjunction with each other. That was still the prevalent attitude of the time. Lee was a through and through soldier but when asked when it came time to chose, he said, " Mr. Blair, I look upon secession as anarchy. If I owned the four millions of slaves in the South, I would sacrifice them all to the Union; but how can I draw my sword upon Virginia, my native State?"
